Astonishing!

Color me astonished as I read your report last week (Dec. 1) about Washington State’s decision to hire a new football coach  for $11 million over five years.  Meanwhile, student aid of all forms is cut by the state, police and fire services are reduced and a host of increasingly punitive measures are exercised against people on Medicare, the poor and elderly. 

And people wonder why Occupy Wall Street persists?
